The replacement of some of the ministers in the central government is not going to boost up its image in any way, which is already at the lowest level with the demonetisation, GST, change of foreign policy etc.
Instead of ministers, change the wrong policies.

Complaints are being received from many circles like Punjab, Haryana, UP etc. that the wages of contract workers are not being paid for months together. This is atrocious.
Contract workers are performing duties and attending to their work sincerely and effectively. Some times they are compelled to work even 10 to 12 hours. But for months, their wages are not being paid. The contractors say that funds have not been received from Management. Contract workers and their families are suffering.
We demand the BSNl management to urgently allot funds to all the circles so that the poor workers are paid their wages. This should be treated as most important.

The Democratic Republic of Vietnam, DRVN, came in to being on 2nd September 1945 throwing away the French and the local king. The revolution was led by the veteran leader Ho Chi Minh, who became the first Prime Minister of the republic. USA attacked the new Republic and killed thousands of people, but in the grim war, USA was defeated and had to withdraw licking its wounds. Vietnam and its people had to suffer many more years due to the use of Napalm bomb by the USA. Vietnam is marching ahead as a socialist state, despite several crises.
Warm Greetings to the people of Vietnam on their Republic Day!

CPIM Politburo has issued the following statement today:
Misuse of UAPA
The Polit Bureau strongly opposes the use of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) to file charges against P. Jayarajan, member of the Kerala State Committee of the CPI(M) and Secretary of the Kannur District Committee.
The UAPA is meant to deal with terrorist crimes. The CBI has invoked provisions under the UAPA to charge Jayarajan with conspiracy to commit a terrorist offence. This is a gross misuse of the provisions of the UAPA and a deliberate effort to target a political leader

life Insurance Corporation of India has completed 61 years of its fruitful existence. It was formed on 1st September 1956, nationalising the existing private insurance companies.
During these 61 years, it has become one of the biggest and most profitable PSUs in the country. Despite the arrival of many foreign and domestic life insurance companies, it retains more than 75% market share in the sector. It is partaking in many welfare programmes of the government and funding many projects.
The All India Insurance Employees Association [ AIIEA), the major union in the sector has also contributed much to the growth of the corporation.
on this 61st foundation anniversary of life Insurance Corporation of India, my warm greetings to lIC and AIIEA!

The demonetisation, GST, death of more than 100 children in Gorakhpur Hospital, the suicide of thousands of Kisans, the large number of corruption cases, crime against women by the BJP representatives in Assembly and Parliament etc. have already tarnished the image of the BJP at centre and at states. The BJP leaders have no reply on the above issues. Instead, the reshuffle of the Cabinet is being shown as the panacea.
Reshuffling the cabinet by giving seats to JDU or AIADMK will not stop the rot. In fact, it will only increase. Cosmetic solutions are of no use. Pro-people policy has to be adopted and implemented.

The following very relevant questions were raised by Com. Sitaram Yechury, General Secretary CPIM) regarding Demonetisation in a Press Conference in Delhi on 31st August 2017. The government is duty bound to answer the questions. However, the Prime Minister and other responsible persons are avoiding the questions and hiding behind silence.
Some Questions that Demand Answers
1. Who decided to demonetise? (Was it the PM?) Is that the reason why Raghuram Rajan was forced to go?
2. More than 100 people died in queues, trying to get their own, hard-earned money due to PM’s announcement. Who is responsible? Why no compensation? Is there an FIR?
3. Reportedly, more than 100% of demonetised currency is coming back after Bhutanese, Nepalese and Coop Banks Currency is taken in. This shows it’s a successful Money Laundering scheme.
4. In Bengal and elsewhere too, BJP members were known to have made bulk deposits of massive amounts just before Demonetisation was announced. So it was the biggest scam of Independent India. So much for PM’s fight against corruption.
5. There was no mention of digitisation on Nov 8, but the the Economy crashed, the government went out of the way to help certain selected private companies under the mask of ‘digitisation.’ PM himself featured in full-page ads of a private company (Paytm). Why? Clearly to give a profit bonanza to international and domestic players.
6. Was this entire exercise done to protect the corporates who are refusing to return the loans they had taken from our nationalised banks which according to one estimate is around Rs. 11,00,000 crores, including interest? Was this done to prevent the banks from collapsing as a consequence of these loans? The government instead should have taken measures to recover these loans which is people’s money.
7. Corruption has far from ended. The amount of money in 2000 rupee notes is much more than the amount of money in 1000 rupee notes. Is that what the PM wanted? To help the corrupt rich?
8. PM’s claims on Counterfeit currency are wrong. This scheme has legitimised all counterfeit currency.
9. There were claims that this was to finish Terror. Far from it, numbers of security personnel lost to terror has gone up significantly since.
10. The Informal sector has collapsed. All data shows that this sector which employs more than two-thirds of our workforce has collapsed due to demonetisation. Lives, Livelihoods and Jobs have been decimated. This government is responsible for this.
11. Ill-Effects of demonetisation on rural markets and Agriculture, heightened the distress among farmers. Their protests have been met by police firing from BJP state governments.
12. Why were people imposed with a burden of printing new notes costing Rs. 8000 crores; ATM recalibration cost of over Rs. 35,000 crores in addition to the loss of economic activity estimated by the CMIE and others to the tune of Rs. 1,50,000 crores?
13. How much taxpayer money in ads has the centre spent to ‘ glorify’ the PM and Demonetisation?
14. The government must fix accountability for this disaster and punish those responsible.

Today is the first death anniversary of Com. V.V.Dakshinamoorthy Master, veteran Communist , who passed away this day last year. He was the Editor of ‘Deshabhimani’ for many years, have been Member of the State Assembly, District Secretary of CPI M), Kozhikode, State Committee Member and so on. He was a good speaker and writer. But most importantly he was an expert in teaching Marxism- leninism to more than two generations. He was simple and his dealings with others were also comradely. I had close connection with Murthy Master for more than 3-4 decades. When he used to come to Delhi for committee meetings etc, we used to meet.
A book on Murthi Master is being released to day by Com. Pinarayi Vijayan, Chief Minister, Kerala, in a memorial meeting to be held at Perambra, where Com. Murthy master lived. Meetings to pay homage are being held in Kozhikode and other cities.
Red Salute to Comrade Murthy Master!

About 300 children have died in the Gorakhpur BRD Hospital. The deaths are continuing unabated. The young children, the future citizens of the country are dying with out getting required treatment. The Chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, who represents the constituency and who while in the opposition has criticised the government for the poor condition of the hospital, has done nothing to improve the situation. This is nothing but murder of the young children.
Has the Chief Minister got any right to continue in his position?.
